Negotiations on trade between the United States and China end with little progress

BEIJING – Negotiations between high-level US and Chinese executives ended in Beijing on noon in the afternoon without any communication from both sides, according to an American government official, since two weeks remain until the end of President Trump's term for the United States Trade conflict with China

It was not immediately clear whether Robert Lightgizer, United States Sales Representative, and Finance Minister Stephen Mnucchin made progress in solving any complex issues that were shared by both parties. The officer spoke on the condition of anonymity, since the talks are not public.

Lighthizer and Mr. Mnuhin are expected to meet with Xi Jinping, China's leading leader, later in the afternoon. . In preparation for the talks this week, the parties could not even agree on a draft framework for a broad outline of a possible agreement, so the expectations for any comprehensive settlement from the very beginning were low.

Many questions, like how to deal with the technology sector, have been pushing for a long time between the United States and China. Many high-tech issues also change and develop along with the sector, which makes it especially difficult to implement a long-term deal.

"In particular, in the areas of technological regulation and standards, it will be the Whac-a game – at best," said James Green, who was the main sales representative of the United States Embassy in Beijing until August. Now he is a senior non-resident at Georgetown University.
